GM: Vulcan
Players: Fixer, Faye(Removed early due to SIN mishap), Frost, Janie.
Synopsis: A synopsis of what happened here.
Date: 12-25-69
The meet is a curious place. The ruins of Tiny Town out in the Pueblo Corporate Council's rural mountains past Twin Forks. It's a nice enough area, full of canyons and trees, running along an old interstate that is well maintained and used as a commuter road.
It's actually kind of creepy, being told to meet in what turns out to be a 1/16th scale model of Aurora before the warrens. A massive network of old roads, houses, buildings and cars, all built to a fraction their normal size, representing a world that was and never will be again.
Fog moves through the taller structures, creating a miasma that obscures vision, deadens sound and makes for just a creepy sort of environment. Sky Scrapers tower only two stories over head, scale models of the downtown skyline circa 2025. Impressive in its way. It's not been maintained in nearly 30 years, but the form and function are still here… slowly being picked away by the animals.
You are supposed to meet the Jay near the old 6 flags park outside of downtown…

Fixer will settle for a rental to drive today, something it terms of SUV or 4x4, hell maybe even 6x6. Nothing to do with shadowrunning or identity, pure precaution due to the heavy snow and ice. Full insurance, just incase something does happen. A dufflebag to come with him. Emergency rations, some basic mountain/snow equipment, plenty of water (and filter), plus way to make fire, sat phone and basic, stay warm, moisture wick kind of clothing. No thick parkas, just second skin kind of stuff, mirror, compass, GPS, maps and… well, honestly, cyberdeck and sat uplink will probably cover for most of that. If there is a possiblity he will grab (be it borrow or buy) a legal Remington 750. Just incase there be some infected coons or bears. Nothing magical.
J's nowadays seem to have a positive fascination with arranging for their rent-a-crooks in the most obnoxiously intrusive sectors, Janie muses as she drives up to the border checkpoint to PCC territory. She favors the customs officer with a pleasant smile as she offers her UCAS SIN for checking, and the officer smiles back politely as it pings green. "That's all in order, Miss Bradders. Welcome to the Pueblo Corporate Council, and may your stay be a profitable one."
One hurdle down. Janie drives on to the meet.
Frost tries a new route, he heard about it from some people, an out of the way road thats lightly patrolled, a quick run across before they notice you, and your in. Unfortunately, things are not always as easy as they seem. As the blue ford americar starts down the road, he gets perhaps a quarter of a mile when flashing lights appear behind him. It seems someone was waiting for him tonight. Frost guns the engine and starts to pull away at first, despite the weather and road conditions. The border guards though are no slouches in pursuits, its practically thier job, and after about ten seconds the flashing lights appear closer. "Drek." mutters Frost. "Alright, Ceasar, come and serve." he continues to focus on the road as in the astral plane an Elemental of the Great Form and Earth Variety appears. "Ceasar, slow down that cop car behind me, make it stop if you can, but don't harm them." The elemental moves swiftly back and then manifests in the road as a muddy boggy path. The border guards car becomes bogged down quickly, slowing to a crawl as Frost in his blue ford americar vanishes into the darkness.
Fixer arrives at about the same time. He parks somewhere easily visible and spends time inside, heat on low, but the seat warmers on full blast. He continues the strict diet, snacking on protein, carbs and warm liquids.
Frost finds a parking spot close by the location. Then locks up his car and sets two watchers to guarding it. One to tell him if anyone touches the car, and the other to tell him if someone gets in the car. His ally spirit Cara is in her mouse form, astrally resting on Frosts shoulder. Frost sweeps the area with his astral perceptions, then looks it over in the mundane light. He makes his way towards the arranged spot, and simply waits quietly.
It IS damn cold up here, with a fresh frosting of snow dusting the landscape. No other vehicles are in the small, somewhat overgrown parking area. The amusement park is a little bit of a hike up in to the hills, as it seems. Hope you dressed warm.
Frost makes his way up to the amusement park, and waits near the ticket booth.
Janie finds a place to park without too much trouble, then wraps her coat more tightly around herself against the cold as she heads for the indicated meeting place.
Fixer pops the chem pack on his heated undersuit and steps out into the cold. The hike isn't bad, but the cold air is anoying. His gator-neck starts to get damp from hot breath. Now it feels like he drooled into it, oh well, it stops the "bite" from the cold.
Everyone meets up near the ruins of the old DENVER DRAGON super-coaster, one of the minature cars hanging precariously from the tracks, like an angry god came down and smashed the rails.
The sound is tinny, like coming from a speaker hidden in the snow… but its clearly audiable..
"Hello Angels."
Frost chuckles softly, but says nothing further, the greeting did not imply a response was necessary. He holds his hands in his pockets, his coat bundled tightly against the cold.
Fixer shifts to astral and lets his vision remain there. On the outside, he tries to keep as calm and neutral as ever, on the inside, the blood boils. Worst to worst, he only has to be faster than the slowest guy… in a "zombie-like" scenario.
The astral is pretty solid, that is, there are no hanging spirits or horrors in the astral who are just bringing you out to have a nice snack.
Janie snorts to herself. "Good mornin', Charlie," she deadpan in response.
"I see at least two of you are up on your mid 1980s flatvids. It's curious the staying power of shows that portray a simpler world, a world before cyberware, before magic and before the fracturing of great nations. Such things always interest me. But thats no matter. I trust you found the location easy enough?"
Frost didn't know about the flatvid, he just laughed because they called them angels, and in this line of work, thats not really a fitting moniker. "No problems." he comments.
Fixer hold out his single hand in a fist with thumb pointing up. He pulls down the bator-neck off his nose and mouth to breather better. Otherwise, seemingly relaxed idling, like a deysel engine.
"I am a collector." A pause as a speaker hums and crackles from its recessed position. It seems to shift position occasionally, keeping one from getting a fixed bearing on its location without effort. "And I have a desire for a certain addition to my collection. The current possesses is unwilling to sell for a reasonable price, despite my best efforts. I am an honest collector; but I will not be denied."
Frost remains quiet and listens, his breath steaming in the cold air. He simply waits for the rest of the story.
Fixer clears his throat "Can we dispose of the melodramitcs (is that even a word)? If you do not wish to be know: fine. Otherwise, can we swap for face to face and get out of the cold, or something?"
"I do not wish to be known. The melodramatics as you so kindly put it, are a required part of security. You are, after all… criminals and mercenaries for hire, are you not? This is the way things are done, is it not? It is cold, to be sure, and for that, I appologize, but somehow I felt this would be a difficult meeting to have in starbucks, sipping latte's."
Fixer nods "Please continue." (sorry for being out of order and shtuff).
Janie shrugs. "Anonymity's an easy thing t'arrange," she replies. "So what is this object ye need retrieved, an' who owns it currently?"
Frost remains quiet.
"I require a collection of ancient media, approximately 80 years old. The total package is approximately 50 pounds, consisting of 2 boxes, each roughly two feet by two feet. I apologize for the archaeic measurements, but it was the way of the time. The media contains flatvids. The Complete collection of 'Dallas'."
Frost chuckles again, but does nothing further except fight off the cold.
Fixer will plug into his pocsec and record as well as take notes. Otherwise, he is silent and motionless, *except* knocking one foot into another. The suit works great, but is toes are starting to feeze. Fucking hate frozen toes.
"An' th'current owner?" Janie asks.
"The current Owner is Mr. Paul Nichedivic, once the CFO of Tablelands Software, currently a retired collector of old media like myself."
Frost frowns slightly, a retired highly ranked corporate type is going to have a hefty amount of security, he thinks over the eletrconics kit he has in his trunk if no one else here is a locksmith.
Fixer tosses a quick matrix message to his brother (the decker) to pull up some initial info on the target. Sole purpose for the momenbt is wieght for the negotiation of the price.
Janie nods. "And where does Mr Nichedivic currently reside?" she asks.
«OOC» Vulcan says, "Gimmie an etti check, Fixer."
«Auto-Judge[]» Fixer (#1804) rolls Etiquette:

«OOC» Vulcan says, "Your brothers a -dick-."
«OOC» Vulcan says, "Want to karma? Otherwise, he's too busy playing WOrld of Warhammerquest to return your call."
«OOC» Fixer says, "warhammer sux! no… i'm at pretty low KP for the moment"
«OOC» Vulcan nods.
"Mr. Nichedivic currently maintains several homes across North America. THe one of particular interest to me, is located on the ridge behind.. uh… The woman."
On said ridge, is a darkened home, some 3 stories tall and about as wide, in a neuvo deco style.
Frost glances over, looking at a distance, he switches to astral perceptions just to see if anything stands out, but at the distance he is not sure what he will see. "Is he currently home?" he inquires to the disembodied voice
The distance is about a mile. The home has no astral details that stand out at this distance.
Fixer calls on the powers of simple matrix and does a quick map search on his pocsec, going to map mode to check streets and then sat mode to mil around on some out dated satellite photo.
THe house is blurred out. Goddamn, sometimes it's nice to be a high ranking retired Executive with the kind of pull that Googletrix will blur his house.
"The gentleman is not currently home. He is wintering in Bermuda."
Frost nods his head in response to having his questions answered "Is there meat security on site, or is it all automated." he asks, since the Jay seems to know alot of stuff, might as well ask this one too.
"I am hiring you angels to find these details out, then act upon them. His security contract is private, I do know that. His contractor is Knight Errant, much to the consternation of Pueblo Security Services."
Fixer adds in two nuyen "Time to execute and price?"
Frost nods, its odd nodding to just a voice, but its a habit of his. He looks to Fixer as the important questions are finally asked.
Janie nods to herself and waits for the answer.
"The boxes are located in the garage, having been delivered two days ago. I require them before the new year. Every day you take, makes it more likely the cargo will be moved or repackaged. I will pay 25,000 nuyen per person."
Frost looks between Janie and Fixer, wondering how they feel about the price, he says nothing yet, waiting for another runner to make the first move.
Janie looks back at Frost and nods, then looks at Fixer.
Fixer looks at Frost and gives a nod, one of understanding or something like "I have a plan.". "Sound acceptable. How shall we keep in touch if something comes up or task complete?"
"Call Commcode Pueblo-039-392-4921."
Frost reaches for his pocsec, pulling it out and putting the number in so he will have a backup incase he gets hit by Laes, not like that is probably going to happen, but its best to be prepared. "I'm in." he says.
Fixer puts away his Laes dart, remotelly targetted at Frost. Seriously "Okay, sounds good." he is done with this, just waits for the rest of the team.
